Stratux - European edition

Users from the US, see here: https://github.com/b3nn0/stratux/wiki/US-configuration

This is a fork of the original Stratux version, incorperating many contributions by the community to create a nice, full featured Stratux-OGN image that works well for europe. Data flow diagram (see https://github.com/b3nn0/stratux/wiki/Stratux-EU-Structure)

Disclaimer

This repository offers code and binaries that can help you to build your own traffic awareness device. We do not take any responsibility for what you do with this code. When you build a device, you are responsible for what it does. There is no warrenty of any kind provided with the information, code and binaries you can find here. You are solely responsible for the device you build.

Main differences to original Stratux

  • Original Stratux: https://github.com/cyoung/stratux
  • Added OGN receiver functionality to receive several protocols on the 868Mhz frequency band, comparable to what the OpenGliderNetwork does
  • Several improvements and bug fixes to GPS handling and chip configuration (by VirusPilot
  • Support for transmitting OGN via a TTGO T-Beam
  • If no pressure sensor is present, Stratux EU will try to estimate your pressure altitude with atmospheric information received from other aircraft. We still recommend using some kind of barometric sensor (e.g. Stratux AHRS module). More information can be found here
  • By default, OGN and DeveloperMode is enabled, UAT is disabled
  • Several new features: Integrated traffic radar (by TomBric, online and offline traffic map and much more
  • Updated RaspberryPi OS to Buster 64 bit, to support newer RaspberryPis as well
  • Added a special "Skydemon wonky GDL90 parser" workaround to reduce Skydemons constant detection of very short disconnects (see below)
  • Support for NMEA output (including PFLAA/PFLAU traffic messages) via TCP Port 2000 and serial
  • Estimation of Mode C/S target distance by signal strength, transmission of bearingless targets via NMEA and GDL90
  • Support for changing the Stratux's IP address
  • Possibility to enter multiple ownship transponder HEX codes, Stratux will automatically decide which of these are actually you. This is useful if you have multiple aircraft that you regularly fly with (e.g. add all club aircraft)
  • X-Plane 11 compatible output for EFBs that support simulator input (experimental, unsupported. Might make it possible to connect Garmin Pilot). Based on original work by 0x74-0x62
  • Support for WiFi Direct connection to make it possible to let Android have mobile data connection while connected to the Stratux
  • Many more small features, bug fixes and tweaks all over the place

Building the Europe Edition

Due to the modular nature of Stratux, there are many possibilities how you can build it to your needs. You can find three popular variations in the form of complete build guides here. It also shows how you can modify your pre-built Stratux US version to run the EU version.

If you want to customize beyond that, or have different needs, you can find a full list of supported hardware/attachments here.
